Consortium's intern Rachel Cicilia sits with Dr. Nanda Kishore and explores India and Myanmar's political Turmoil.
The ongoing political crisis in Myanmar since the 2021 military coup has seen little progress, especially with the world’s focus on recent events such as COVID-19 and the Russian-Ukrainian war. The military has continued to use violence against protestors and the Rohingya minority. The discussion is focused on India’s involvement in addressing the crisis, given their long border and maritime boundary with Myanmar and their growing economic and defense cooperation. However, India’s reluctance to take action is attributed to national interests, competition with China and Pakistan, and potential implications for its security and economy.
